Hi
I have a P7500 UK unlocked and unbranded tab on fw 3.1 and just wanted to know which stock firmware I should grab and where do I get it
This is the one I've found but not sure if its right "P7500XXKI1"
Just checked the Baseband on my tab and its P700BUH1
Sorry meant P7500BUKH1
Flash this IMHO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348533

I understand what your saying but dont I need my stock firmware to use these and I cant make a back up as the tab is already rooted so all i would be doing is making a backup with the root still on
I need the stock rom so I can restore the phone to before it was rooted and CWM was installed
The problem I have is I need to unroot it so I can send it back to Samsung for repair
So I need a stock rom and wouldn't making a backup with nandroid just back it up as it is now rooted
Its unlocked but think it was on Vodafone as the stock rom is P7500BUKH1 but I was wondering what would happen if I restored it with this P7500XXKI1 Open Europe
Just been advised to flash this firmware P7500XEUKH3 because they think this is for UK tabs is there anyway of finding out
Product Code: GT-P7500UWDXEU
Latest firmware: P7500XWKHD/P7500XEUKH3/P7500XWKG1/P7500XWKHD

What is the easiest way to install 2.3.4 version or newer to my Galaxy S2 4G current is 2.3.3. I will be using it in Canada.. Thanks
Official way: Check if KIES is offering you a firmware
Unofficial way: You can download the firmware from the Dev section Stock or Custom and then flash it using Odin
Stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Also explains how to flash. Please read how to flash and DO SELECT only what is given. Selecing PIT in ODIN leads to BRICK and unusable
Thanks for the info!!! If I do update it will put everything to normal right and it will unroot the phone?

Don't understand the 'put everything to normal' part but after flashing any ROM you will lose root. Need to re root.

Thats fine no too worry about root normal i meant everything will go back to stock or factory state condition. That triangle will go away too right after flashing the rom? thanks for your quick response
If you use one of the stock roms there is no yellow triangle. You wont see carrier animation on boot, but that is a good thing in my opinion. It's as if you bought an unlocked phone not tied to a network.

I wonder if this court injunction by apple will slow the rollout of v2.3.4 to the rest of Europe, I hope not i am sick of waiting as it is.
So just odin right? Not sure which stock rom I can use with it been searching around here and seen so many of them.

You did read the 1st post of that link right? I mean specifically the part that said "Flashing firmware with Odin" and had the usless screenshots and stuff.
I rooted my phone and install a custome rom but today I tried to flash back my original rom I backup and tried to update my phone through kies and it says my firmware can't update due to a change in my firmware. My phone is still rooted and I still have a custome recovery install. Is that causing the problem? Sorry I'm new to all this. Thanks.

That's exactly the issue. If your device status is listed as modified, then Kies will not work. You basically forfeit your option to update through that program. I think unrooting would help, or just wait and flash the new 4.3 ROM that will be available soon.
This should have been posted in q&a. It would be helpful to know what specific phone you have. You say you've flashed back to the stock Rom but you still have a custom recovery? How did you flash back to stock?

If you want to restore back to stock and remove the custom recovery you should use Odin. That should let you get the ota firmware upgrade.
So I have to use Odin to put back my original firmware? Also I'm not to sure how to put back Odin to stock recovery.

When you flash the stock firmware with odin it'll put the stock recovery back on at the time. You don't have to do anything special.

You don't flash the backup with odin. Get the stock firmware from sammobile.com for your specific device and carrier.
So I would download Odin to my pc than download and install the original firmware with odin? Do you have a step by step on flashing with odin? Thanks!

The attached guide is not for the i337 but the process is the same. Just don't use any linked files, except for Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

You're welcome
So, my S4 wont read my simcard anymore, and I have to send it back.
What do I need to do to make sure that Samsung accepts and replaces my device.
It's Rooted, has a custom recovery and ROM.
Thanks.
EDIT: Its a Canadian S4.
Remove flash back via Odin find stock factory image for YOUR DEVICE (I337m) I take it you didn't update it so find the Odin files that correspond with the fw that your phone officially came with

So I went back to the Official Samsung firmware, and used triangle away. Now when I boot into download, both say official. However, when I check device status, it still says custom.
I have removed Root and have a custom recovery installed. Found a Sprint S4 recovery, but I can't find the Canadian. Will the sprint one work?
Only other method I could think of is using Kies (if you don't have it downloaded it) to restore it completely.

Well, Can I not just flash the stock recovery with ODIN?
I'm not too sure. You could search it

If you have an i337m you can flash the stock firmware with odin.

See, I cannot go back to stock and do the triangle away method as SIM card is required to activate the phone, which currently won't read a simcard. Can I not just flash the recovery? Or is there a way to bypass simcard activation? Thanks
I'm trying to restore my phone so I can sell it so I was wondering how do I remove custom recovery, root and revert back to stock ROM? By reverting back to stock will this allow me to do ota updates?

Hi mate,
Restoring back to stock should restore your OTA ability and remove recovery/root.......There is a back to stock link in my signiature......Follow the guide in there for restoring your phone:good:

No not exactly. You also need to reset the flash counter using triangle away app.

cant I jus t revert to stock via keis?
These are basic questions that you should have known before you started to flash your phone.
But no, Kies won't do anything for you in this case. Use Odin.

Why would you need someone else's nandroid?
Why don't you just simply download a fresh install package?

Just download any custom rom install package and flash with custom recovery.
Obviously you already have custom recovery.
I don't believe bootloader version matters for custom rom.

Sorry I don't know about miui never used it on sg4, I used it on HTC desire HD and never liked it.
With out knowing myself, can you not flash custom rom at all,? have you actually tried? Does it error out while install any custom rom?
I'm not advanced enough with sg4 and I'm still on old bootloader so no idea about this BS bootloader issues so I'll back out now and I hope someone smarter can help.
(Can't remember having these BS issues with my old HTC's)

Someone else's nandroid isn't going to fix this issue for you. Once you've got the new bootloader, that's it.
